Hate taking tablets, or think CBD oil tastes gross? A CBD spray could be a great choice for you, as an easy and convenient way to take your CBD.
If you’re curious about CBD sprays and want to know what all the fuss is about, here are our top picks and why they’re a great choice.
What is CBD spray?
CBD sprays are a more convenient way to take your CBD. They’re usually made with CBD oil that’s held in an ethanol alcohol solution.
A simple spray you can keep in your bag is much easier to use than carrying around a traditional tincture bottle and pipette. They often have fruity or minty flavours, making them nicer to take than some other CBD products!
CBD sprays often come in three different formats:
- oral sprays which are sprayed into the mouth and absorbed through the skin
- topical sprays that are sprayed onto the skin for a localised effect
- nasal sprays which are sprayed into the nostrils
Oral and topical sprays are often the most popular as they’re so easy to use. Just make sure you check the instructions on the oil to make sure you use it correctly!

How much CBD spray should you take?
You should always stick to the recommended dose listed on the CBD spray bottle or packaging, and make sure that you stick to the acceptable daily dose as suggested by the UK Food Standards Agency.
The UK Food Standards Agency has set an acceptable daily intake of 0.15mg of 98% pure CBD per kilogram of body weight. This equates to 10mg of CBD per day for a healthy adult weighing 70kg – if you weigh less than 70kg you should consume less.1,2
Before adding a CBD oil spray to your routine, you should check with your GP to make sure it’s safe for you to do so.
Is a CBD spray safe for everyone?
In general, when it comes to all CBD products, the following people should not take CBD products:3
- children under the age of 18
- pregnant and breastfeeding people
- prospective parents trying for a baby • people taking medication
It’s also best for everyone to check with a GP that CBD products are safe for use and to make sure they don’t interact with any medication being taken.
When should you take a CBD spray?
What time you decide to take CBD spray, is entirely up to you and your reason for using it. Whether you wish to take it in the morning, during the day or before bed, there are no set rules. Finding what works for you is most important.
Which is better: CBD sprays or oils?
CBD sprays are pretty similar to CBD oils in terms of their effects, but the main bonus of using a spray over an oil is that they’re quicker to take and more convenient.
With CBD oils, you usually hold the oil beneath your tongue for the product-specified amount of time. However, with a spray, you simply spritz it directly beneath your tongue, to make the most of its effects.4
You can pick and choose your CBD spray dosage just the same as you would with CBD oils, so there’s not much difference there. However, it’s important to stick with the FSA’s acceptable dose of 0.15mg of CBD per kilogram of your bodyweight.1
If you don’t like the taste of CBD oil, then a CBD spray will definitely be a win for your tastebuds. CBD sprays are often combined with other ingredients to give them a better taste or a specific flavour. In some cases, these specific ingredients are added for benefits, although more clinical controlled research is needed, as this area of research is new and full of possibility.5
What are the benefits of CBD sprays?
There are several uniquely brilliant benefits when it comes to CBD sprays, especially when you compare them to other CBD products on the market.
- They’re easy to take: swallowing whole pills can be difficult for some and downright impossible for others, so choosing a CBD spray could help.
- They taste better: the taste of CBD oil is a dealbreaker for some, it’s a rather strong after all. On the other hand, CBD sprays usually come with a tasty, fruity flavour, so it feels more like a treat.
- They’re easier to control: when you take a CBD spray, you’ll know exactly how many mcg (micrograms) of CBD you’re getting. Whereas, when you use CBD oil it can vary more depending on how you use the pipette.
- They’re convenient: although we’re sure some of you out there can swallow capsules dry – no problem, most people need at least a swig of water to help them go down. With CBD sprays, you can take them on the go without needing to have a drink to wash them down. They’re also great for taking on holiday, or to work, etc. for the same reason.
- They’re more bioavailable: unlike some other CBD products, CBD sprays bypass the stomach and get absorbed into the bloodstream, which is quicker and more efficient.6
The final say
CBD sprays are usually made with CBD oil, the same that you find in glass tinctures.
If you don’t like the taste of plain old CBD oil, an unflavoured or flavoured CBD spray could be a great alternative. CBD sprays are loved by some due to their convenience – you don’t need a drink to wash it down! They can also be easier for your body to absorb, as they don’t have to be broken down in the stomach and reach the bloodstream faster.
Alternatives to CBD sprays include CBD oil, CBD capsules, CBD gummies, CBD muscle balms, and much more!
FAQs
Yes, but it may affect how quickly CBD is absorbed by your body.
If you spray CBD spray underneath your tongue, it’s absorbed through the mucous membrane directly into your bloodstream.7 However, when swallowed, CBD is absorbed through the digestive system which can take longer.
Choosing the best CBD oil spray can be difficult with so many options out there! To help you decide which spray to choose, consider the:
- purity of the CBD
- the amount of CBD in the product
- how the CBD is extracted
- the type of CBD (broad spectrum or full spectrum)
- your personal preference
It can take a bit of trial and error to find the right CBD spray for you, so don’t fret if the first one you try isn’t quite right.
Yes! Stick to the recommended dose listed on the product, and don’t exceed the FSA’s safe amounts of CBD (10mg per day for a 70kg healthy adult).1
The possible side effects of too much CBD include:8
- drowsiness
- diarrhoea
- decreased appetite
- changes in your mood (feeling more irritable or agitated)
CBD can also interfere with medications, so it’s important to check with your GP that it’s safe for you to take first, then always stick to the recommended dose.
